The Bridge Theatre was built in the
1930's, to replace the old Bridge and Edmondson Theatres, according to
Exit, Dr Robert Headley's book on Baltimore theatres. The two smaller
theatres had been built next to each other in that block, and were torn
down for the building of the new Bridge theatre. The massive theatre
building had an entrance on the corner of Edmondson Avenue and Pulaski
Street, but that has been closed off and a new entrance has been made
on Edmondson Avenue. The building has long since been closed as a
theater, and used as a church. It appears to be in good condition, and
while the neighborhood around it has seen better days, the old theater
building appears it will be around for many years to come.
